I lost in Monopoly... TO THE DOG!!

Awhile back BJ and I were in Meijer and were checking out the clearance section and we came across Monopoly Tycoon. It looked different, a new twist on the old game. So we took a chance and bought it. Then maybe 3-4 months later we finally got around to playing it. We sat down got everything out... and realized that you needed 3-5 players. Bummer. We really wanted to play so we started making a compromise... "How about we both play the third person? How about Rescue be the third person?" We liked that one. We then made the decision that she had to buy anything she landed on and any trade offered presented to her. The interesting part about this game is that there is a DVD to give out the chance, and community chest, as well as some different things. Then all of a sudden, Rescue started to take off. She had a ton of properties, and a ton of money. Great. Then we started making bogus trades with her, "Rescue, if you give me X, I will give you treat. Do you accept?" Of course she did. We continued to make bogus trades and deals that would benefit ourselves. At the end of the game you tally up your money and things to get points. The one with the most points wins! Rescue had 84 points, I had 85 and BJ had 73. How sad is that. Even cheating and taking advantage of the non-human, she still almost beat us. That sucks! HA!
